WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES IN THE MARKET AFTER LABOR DAY? 🍂🏡
The market doesn’t stop moving in the fall—it just moves differently.
After Labor Day, you may notice:
• Fewer casual shoppers, more serious buyers
• Less competition on some listings
• Sellers who are more motivated to make a move
• Buyers paying closer attention to pricing and value
• A shift toward a more focused, intentional market
Fall can be a great time to pay attention to what’s happening locally instead of assuming the market is “slow.”
Thinking about buying or selling this fall? Let’s talk about what the market is doing in your area.

IF I WERE BUYING A HOME THIS FALL… HERE’S WHAT I’D DO. 🍂🏡
Before getting caught up in the pretty kitchens and dreamy backyards, I’d make sure I had the basics covered.
✔️ Get pre-approved
✔️ Know my real monthly budget
✔️ Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves
✔️ Research the neighborhood—not just the house
✔️ Work with an agent who knows the local market
Buying a home is a big decision, and having a plan before you start touring can make the process feel a whole lot less overwhelming.
Save this post for when you’re ready to start your home search—and send it to someone who’s thinking about buying this fall! 🔖

HOT TAKE: FALL IS UNDERRATED FOR HOME BUYERS. 🍂🏡
Think spring and summer are the only times to buy? Not necessarily.
Fall can be a great time to start your home search, especially if you’re looking for:
🍂 Potentially less competition from other buyers
🏡 Motivated sellers who have a specific timeline
🔎 A closer look at the property—from drainage and landscaping to how the home feels as the seasons change
🎄 The possibility of being settled before the holidays
And you don’t have to wait until January to start planning. The earlier you understand your budget, timeline, and options, the more prepared you’ll be when the right home comes along.
Thinking about buying this fall? Let’s make a plan.
Save this post for later and send it to someone who’s been saying, “Maybe we’ll start looking next year.

LOWCOUNTRY HOME BUYING: THINGS YOU DON’T WANT TO GOOGLE AT 10 PM 🏡
You found the house. You love the kitchen. You’re already mentally placing furniture…
And then the questions start. 👀
“What is a flood zone?”
“Why is homeowners insurance so expensive?”
“What does this HOA actually allow?”
“Is this location actually a good fit?”
“Do I really need an inspection?”
Suddenly it’s 10:47 PM and you’ve fallen down a real estate Google rabbit hole.
This is exactly why having a local Realtor matters. Someone who knows the area, understands the questions to ask, and can help you look beyond the pretty pictures to the details that really matter.
Because buying a home in the Lowcountry is about more than finding a house you love—it’s about making a smart, informed decision.
Save this for your next home search & send it to your fellow late-night Googler.

🚨 REAL ESTATE FRAUD ALERT 🚨

Beaufort County—and counties across the country—are seeing an increase in real estate fraud attempts, so homeowners should be aware.

Fraudsters may pose as property owners and attempt to sell properties they don’t actually own. Fake IDs, fraudulent wire transfers, and forged documents are becoming increasingly common.

Vacant homes, second homes, and rental properties can be especially vulnerable.

One simple step you can take is to claim your property through the Beaufort County Register of Deeds for an added layer of protection and notification.
